Responses ranged from the top vote grabbers, to Denny's, Cracker Barrel, Olive Garden, and Famous Dave's. A couple of unusual suggestions included Hooters and Chevy's, which previously operated on Staten Island.

A handful of folks said they wished for something more specific to Staten Island, as opposed to yet another chain restaurant.

"How about another private restaurant with an owner who cares about quality. Instead of anther chain restaurant with its pre frozen crap," wrote Andrew Palazzola.

"I can't believe people actually want a Red Lobster or Olive Garden to open in this space," said Courtney DeNicola Nowak. "With all the good 'mom and pop' places on the island you people want a chain seafood or Italian restaurant to open??? Crazy."
